The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Haunting starting at 8 p.m. It's about a group of people investigating the haunted mansion "Hill House". Eastman House's Calendar adds, "this classic of the horror genre was a throwback in its own time, masterfully employing the powers of suggestion to provoke fear, and now stands as one of Hollywood's scariest, most atmospheric works."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Otoshiana (Pitfall) starting at 8 p.m. Here's what the Eastman House Calendar teases us with: "When a miner leaves his employers and treks out with his young son to become a migrant worker, he finds himself moving from one eerie landscape to another, intermittently followed (and photographed) by an enigmatic man in a clean white suit, and eventually coming face to face with his inescapable destiny. [...] Pitfall is an unsettling ghost story, a portrait of human alienation, and a compellingly surreal critique of soulless industry."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Chelsea Girls starting at 7 p.m. I only mention this as a warning: this film is notorious for people walking out (including myself, who made it about halfway through its 210-minute runtime). It's also known as Andy Warhol's "cinematic masterpiece" — and as such, a true gauntlet for those who claim to like Warhol's work. It's an amateurish jumble of images of stoned-out people at the Chelsea Hotel; a genius demonstration of the antithesis of cinematic storytelling. [source: Dryden Theater calendar] [all ages]
